  • @RPIEngineering Yes, very nice, one can make anything fly, if only sufficient Thrust is applied ; apparently. I retrofitted my Subaru 4WD with a Solar/Piston Hybrid Electrical System. It saves 35% of the pre-mod. Fuelburn, and raises torque to the Gearbox by 300% to 500% at Idle RPM, and by up to 12.5% at Cruise RPM. Search 'SunFoil Science' to view the Raw Data. Try the

    'SunFoil Short Talk', to calculate your ideal size PV. Construction clips are up there too.

  • love that it looks standard except from the roll cage.. love it, sounds great, go's great and now i want to put that engine in my 110 CSW but think i would bankrupt myself gunning it around all day and pissing through fuel like theres no tomorrow. :D

  • how much did that cost ??

  • God i love you guys! Once i get enough money saved up i will be coming to you for a 4.6 to go into my TR7, although im in college at the moment so it wont be for a while :( keep up the good work guys, that thing sounds epic! Mike

  • AWSOME makes my 3.5 seem pritty perfetic: -(

  • what bhp does this push?

  • Not fast, poor handling, shit fuel consumption, interior from the 1970's, and you crash it at 30mph and you're dead because of the weak shell.

    What a heap of shit, just a big noise on big wheels.

  • wow that video is not sped up thatrs for sure.... excellent.

  • Nice landy sounds brilliant

  • This vid made me laugh so much. Bookmarked- I'm sure it will make me laugh many more times. Good Work!

  • The noise reminds me of the film Jeepers Creepers! Nice vid, Nice Landy!

  • grammer shmammer

    drop out again why don't you?

  • i know how well a 110 csw goes with a p38 4.6 in but not as well as that you guys do a great job love the old 101 you sold seen it a few times sweet

  • Why ruin a perfectly good landy with that. If you want a fast road car, then buy a road car

  • more! more! more!

  • Absolutly love it, my V8 Series3 lightweight always puts a smile on my face!

  • tell me if iam wrong but that said 30mph in first then 50mph in second thats quick

  • Sounds good, MOMOMO

  • Why is fuel so expensive in Britain, i want one of those!

  • 5 words "I WANT ONE OF THESE"

  • bet that sups the fuel quick

  • Probably about 9-12 MPG!!

  • This video is flagged? Good reason I guess, most kids would cry at the sound of that British V8.

  • o yh

  • eeeey boss this is a beast we nid these in Botswana ride them in the African desert!!!! kalahari for rill, this is a beast joh!!!!

  • total ANIMAL

  • Well this is a NA engine in a 2+tonne truck. And it will go this fast over rougher terrain than an evo could handle.

    Don't compare Land Rovers to Evo/WRXs. Totally different class

  • Awesome every defender should have one instead of those pony diesels they keep putting in them..

  • Now that has to be one of the best sounds I have heard!!!

  • Dont Run infront of one then.

    Great vid, and sensible driving, if it was in a built up area then no, but its not.

  • Like it, sounds the biz.

  • Look like very safe and sensible places to overtake to me, nothing wrong here, good driving, sensible overtaking choices, good choices of road.

    Great video, nice landy!

    Thanks for posting.

  • Out in the sticks is just chocker with kids playing football at the side of the road.

    Keep up the good work!!!! Im loving it!

  • Chocker! Where'd you go to school? The University of Posh?

  • Dude go jump of a cliff! Did u see anyone in the middle of the road? Hes on the high way empty road wat the hell you gotto have some fun ay, its music to landy ppl Glorious V8 Landrover

  • NICE

  • this is awesome, there is no better sound than that of a V8, a V8 and a defender together is my idea of heaven!

  • Comment removed

  • thats well kl;)

  • You need to take that truck in to a city and scare some people of the lights! I manage to do it in a 90 with a straight through pipe!

  • Comment removed

  • well its a shame such a good engin is limited by the gearbox

  • nice, that engine is savage!

  • If you count it, its 0-60 in 8 seconds, not bad considering the standard defender using the 2.4 diesel needs almost twice that!

    Would like to see hoe it performed with JE Engineerings 'Zulu' engine (4.2 supercharged v8) supposedly has 450bhp!

  • the JE zulu is not a rover V8 but the S/C AJV8 from a R/R sport which has been chipped by the looks of it lol

  • ooops my bad, thanks for pointing that out.

  • It says "wheel spin" at the start of the video, full time 4wd wont stop wheel spin with 300+bhp....not on a wet road!

  • And it's a pick up, which would make the wheel spin worse.I had 0-60 in about 6-7 seconds, don't know where you got 10 seconds from.

    Diesel golf is better???

    Go save a kitten in a tree you homo!

  • Full time 4WD fixes the wheel spin problem. All LR's have it.

  • So you have never seen a tuned Scooby/Evo/Skyline etc spin all 4 wheel on a launch??

    Well its the same principle here, lots of power, wet roads, and all 4 wheels spinning!

  • Are you blind? 10 seconds? it less than that and it also spins up all the way through first and into second due to the road being wet. 15 year old Golf diesel is quicker? Yeah maybe if you replace the diesel lump with a G60 you idiot lol! In the dry this does 60 in 7 seconds!

  • wheres the fun in that! THis is a great piece of kit and I have seen a lot of RPI's engine work and trust me this is well under 10 seconds.........more like 6 seconds. And for your information the fastest diesel golf, which is the 170 DSG GT Sport, does 0-60 in 8.2 seconds....if you're lucky. A 15 year old GTi will still only do it in 8.4 seconds and the diesel, well I think you would be lucky to get to 60 in 15 seconds. Next time you comment on a video ensure you know what you are talking about

  • nice

    DEF power

  • excellent

  • What, and sound like a tractor, kick out more pollution, and go only half as quickly??

    Lol ;-)

  • alright city slicker

  • want one

  • best sound ever from an engine

  • ne voglio uno

  • spettacolare

  • oh my fuckin god lol fuckin amazin well done mate

  • hay thats fast man great machine .

  • Nice work mate, what kind of top speed do you get out of it and how bads your mileage?

  • THAT IS ONE AWSOME LANDY NICE JOB MATE

  • landrovers overtaking... the never seen... heeh you had to se me tring to overtake with my 89 2.5 diesel.. its all an art..

    drafting, looking at trees to see witch way the wind blows, finding the right moment, pedal to the metal (huge black smoke screen), slingshooting and hoping for no front winds or uphills and blasting at 97kmh overtaking trucks..yea it was so exciting.. miss my landrover....

  • id of put the engine in something good looking.. like a 90 spec defender this pick-up type thing dosent look cool lol

  • lol we had a 90 with a 3.8 twin turbo engine from an old bmw m5 but sum bastard robbed it from our drive :(

    nice landy you have here tho (Y)

  • Works for me :-)

    Would love one of those in my tomcat!

    Merv.

  • wow BEAST

  • That sounds awesome.

    I want one.

  • That land-rover is brilliant i all ready think there the best thing on earth but she is something different.

  • anyone who says the rover v8 is crap,you dont know what you are talking about,ive built just a 3.9,crane cam,mallory dizzy,holley carb,tubular manifolds,keep oil changed,let it warm up from cold,and most of all,use good anti freeze,and it will piss on any yank engine simillar size any day.

  • Sorry to burst your bubble - but the Rover V8 is a Buick engine! It is a Yank V8!

    Still sounds great though :)

  • This is sick!!

  • 10,000th view here:)

    Sounds ace.

  • that is pure awesomeness :P

    whats the fuel economy like though?

  • where i come from, there is the death sentence for a sound like this....

  • The sound is just orgasmic... no other words for it.

  • Ok, so lets see a video of that then yeah?

    This is a softly tuned engine, and by the way-The video is not sped up at all lol!

    If its really that bad, why add it to your favorites ;-)

    Maybe we could do a vbideo of you Blazer 'blowing' this Land Rover away with a 110 on the back?

  • Yes that revolutionary Buick V8 was sold to Rover because nobody wanted to buy the cars which had one fitted. This poor reception from the American public wasn't due at all to its performance as an engine, but to prejudice against its all-alloy construction at a time when cast-iron blocks were preferred. By the way, 4.6 litres = 280 cui, therefore there is no comparison to be drawn.

  • yeah but still a weak pile of pee pee though...

    too much money to tune only thing in it's avour is weight

  • don't bronco's have them leaf springs like in the olden days with horse and carts ?

    land rovers are different class! articulation is what matters

  • @v8leeroy erm - SHUT UP YOU TOTAL TWAT - clear enough for your insignificant mind?

  • @v8leeroy STFU fuckin land rovers will cream all over any other 4x4/pickup

  • you dont need a radio in this thing, the sound of the engine alone is entertainment.

  • mate, i seriously need this in my 90

    whats that engine out of?

    what model rangerover?

  • The block is a new 4.6 bottom end, with a stage 3 upgrade and some injection upgrades.

    Thanks.

  • sweet!!

    as i said b4... anyway i like alot!!

  • Keep up the great work!!!

  • thats incredible

  • That is one mean landy, you must have big balls to drive a 110 at that speed on these roads.....

  • That is the greatest engine sound ever!!!

  • Sweet ! what is the 0-60 do u reckon ?

  • We estimate around 7 seconds, in the dry with a good solid launch.

  • I NEED that engine in my 110...

  • what bhp do u get ?

  • gimme! gimmee! gimmee!

  • So....what's the mileage like?

  • Actually the MPG is improved over standard, as power comes through efficiency. And as the engine no longer needs to work as hard to get what you want from it, it therefore use's less fuel, due to not working so hard as there is so much torque low down now.

    However when driven hard the MPG does drop, but one thing is for sure, the customer is certainly not complaining;-)

  • Drool material. Very impressive!!!

  • F**K Me thats good

  • Thanks lol
